Personally, i think your opinion is entirely over simplistic. I can't understand how you could never say a team played well despite not winning, or drawing. Teams can be very unlucky, without being crap.

I just don't buy into this 'unlucky' thing. "Oh we hit the post three times, missed from a yard out and the keeper saved one with his arse". Sorry but you couldn't finish your dinner so no amount of good football is going to make up for that at the end of the game.

You sure? What about a deflected shot? That might do it?

Look I understand your disappointment at losing the derby and the fact United were the better team makes it harder pill to swallow but to say United 'deserved ' to win is ridiculous. The team who takes it's chances deserves to win.

Agreed. Or bad reffing - see Napoli - Juventus from Saturday. Ref and Napoli player suspended. Napoli win without playing well.

Tauren: despite the fact that Tevez only officially signed for you a couple of weeks before the derby, we are both well aware that he was training with you for a number of weeks before that while the transfer was going through.

Did I say United deserved to win? The team that takes it chances deserves to win, no doubt about that, United were shocking, deserved to lose that game. That said, City didn't take their chances either, they got a lucky deflection. If United had won the match with a similar shot you'd be saying the same thing as me.

That's the thing, I wouldn't. Ok forget City/United. Look at the 'pool/Arsenal game at the weekend. Everyone says Arsenal were the better team and deserved to win. Yes they were the better team but no they didn't deserve to win because they scored the same amount of goals as a supposedly boring, long ball team.

Mr Alan

here! less of the boring long ball team please

Lads this is all a tad childish tbh. Having said that I'm looking forward to coming on here after the next Mancs Derby

Did you not watch the second half of that match? The whole bringing Crouch on and knocking it up to him?

I'm equally sure you'll enjoy another fruitless Champions League campaign but hey, who knows, we might surprise each other.

Surely fruitless is sitting in every champions league match day crying into your pillow because your team isn't it?

Enjoy it!

The whole world can't be glory hunters and prawn sandwich eaters my friend. If that was the case there would only be a United thread on Boards. I don't think many people could stomach that.

that's the funniest thing i've read....funny how there's no mention of the league (expecting us to do well/win it maybe?)

to use Europe when you can only dream of being in it is comedy

As I said earlier, we can't all be glory hunters and our hopes have to be on a different realistic scale. I know United can win the league and maybe the Champions League too and I love it when they fail, same way you love that City don't have any success. It's what having a rivalry is all about.

Indeed. It just seems remarkably similar to a bunch of 6 year olds arguing.

Glory, glory Man Utd; glory, glory Man Utd...!

It's all about the glory you see.
